The world is changing. Universal Truth, God, is stirring thought, lifting it up, and redirecting it. Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy has this analysis: "In the material world, thought has brought to light with great rapidity many useful wonders. With like activity have thought's swift pinions been rising towards the realm of the real, to the spiritual cause of those lower things which give impulse to inquiry." Science and Health, p. 268
Surely, then, human events and human development are not drifting away from spiritual reality, away from the Science of Truth. Far from it. Thought is "rising towards the realm of the real." We can't, however, feel complacent. What was understood and proved of Truth even yesterday may not be quite good enough for today We have to keep up with Truth as it endlessly opens out. And we can.
As we look at Christian Science, for example, it's so important to recognize what this Science is actually all about. Christian Science is not about itself. It's not a closed, inturned thing. It's primarily about God—God expressing Himself as All. Why is this so? Because there truly isn't anything but God and His expression.
